Production Plate

Post by TheJoyB3S » Thu Jun 18, 2020 9:47 am

Hey guys

My production plate has faded and decided (or unknowingly) to strip off the paint.
Any advice to revive this?
Cheers

What the .... :!:

Have you been cleaning that with a scouring pad???

Seriously though, you might be able to convince ALPINA to produce a new one for you but I presume that they will want proof of ownership and the old one back.

It's worth asking as I don't believe that your current one is salvageable.

I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

I also just thought about the shops that make those trophies. Maybe they can. :think

Yes
It was free
Nothing in this world is free, especially anything to do with Alpina
I think £300 mark
